[SOLVED] How do I update the BIOS on Gigabyte Z690 Gaming X ?

[Britcanting]

Hi

Never done a BIOS update before so don't want to mess it up.

It's F4 https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z690-GAMING-X-DDR4-rev-10/support#support-dl-bios

Thanks!

Why are you updating BIOS? Is there a reason you have to? Its not ideal to do it just because a new one exists, for isntance

According to this - https://download.gigabyte.com/FileL...bios_e.pdf?v=bfa5eee853800ace94e292edd59e60cf
You use Q Flash - https://www.gigabyte.com/FileUpload/Global/MicroSite/121/flashbios_qflash.pdf

surprised board doesn't mention Q Flash Plus.

I need to update for the NVME drives to work. per this thread https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/nvme-and-gigabyte-z690-gaming-x-ddr4.3732759/

Ok cool, q flash seems simple enough, thanks.

Good enough reason

Ok flash went fine and NVME drives work. My memory which is samsung LPX 3200mhz is only running at 2133mhz, how do I set it 3200mhz?

You can switch to XMP Profile for the ram via the bios
